Anastina McKee Donation Info

Baby Anastina ~ 3 weeks old

Click Here for a Story Update from the Sierra Star article published July 1, 2010

Anastina McKee was born 3 months prematurely on May 18, 2010 on the island of Guam. She still weighs under 2 pounds and is 13 inches long. Baby Anastina is fighting for her life with hydrocephalus and a brain infection among other life threatening medical conditions. Money is needed for her urgent and ongoing specialized medical treatment, which is projected to cost $300,000-$400,000. All of her parents’ insurance and personal funds have been used up in the first 3 weeks of the baby’s young life. Her parents, their families & friends have donated money to help little Anastina, but much more is needed. Government financial aid is also desperately needed, but impossible to get on the island of Guam.


If you wish to donate money to help, there are several ways you can donate money directly to baby Anastina’s family to help pay for her medical bills and her medical transport. Special donation accounts have been set up in her name.


1. Direct Check: Made out to Anastina McKee, deliver to Bob McKee at North Fork Hardware or mail to:

Yosemite Bank
Ref: Account 401009337
Attn: Doug Dearing

2. Send donations through PayPal to this special email address: Save.Anastina@gmail.com


3. Cash Donations: Deliver in person to Bob McKee (Grandpa Bob) at North Fork Hardware for a receipt


Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
The McKee family of North Fork

North Fork Cares ~ A Baby in Need

Baby Anastina ~ Day 19, weighing 898 grams

Click Here for a Story Update from the Sierra Star article published July 1, 2010

My partner's first grandchild, a girl, Anastina, was born 3 months prematurely this past May 18th in Guam. She urgently needs to be airlifted out of Guam to a higher tech neonatology center than can be found on the island of Guam. There she will receive the proper specialized care that she needs to survive. Her parents have been turned down by two airlines and the US Air Force when they have asked for a special "mercy flight" for the tiny baby. Money is needed for the flight which will cost upwards of $20,000 and also for her urgent and ongoing medical care. Her parents, their families & friends have donated money to help little Anastina, but much more is needed. Government financial aid is also desperately needed, but impossible to get on the island of Guam.

Please watch this news video taped yesterday by our local ABC news station, and pass it along to others. Some of you may have already seen it on last evening's channel 30 ABC news.
